I don’t think St. Louis will be better in NY then he was in TB, and I don’t think Callahan will be better in TB then he was in NY. I just think that the systems they were in before the trade better suited their styles of play.

I like Marty, a lot – but that city rallied behind the guy, even though they also adore Stamkos, in support of the honor of being the Captain. In my opinion this was their best year and best shot in the playoffs that they’ve had. He was playing with and in some ways mentoring one of the special talents in the league. If he was upset because of ego, maybe I see their point. If he just wanted out and didn’t care where the team was mid-season, then maybe I see their point. I’d be upset too.

Marty is a big boy and I’m sure he understands that it was just business. Since he specifically asked for NYC than I would assume that’s where he planned to retire at and wanted to get his life started there. I heard from Cory Conacher on a interview for WGR 550 say that St. Louis was already building a house near NYC and I think that this decision was strictly based on family.

People feel a touch abandoned. The thing that gets me is I thought Marty should have been captain over Lecavalier all those years. Now I am not so sure.

Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:07:12 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2319704#comment-289152I know. Stars fans didn’t do this when Mike Modano signed in Detroit because he wanted a shot at the cup. I bet you he retires as a Tampa Bay Lightning and Stevie Y would have no problem with that. Marty is good, but he is getting old and probably will retire in a few years. I didn’t think that too many fans would feel this way. Both of those guys won their cities cups and are great guys.

This guy gave most of his career and got your city a Stanley Cup. What more can you ask of a guy? This isn’t to all Lightning fans only the ungrateful ones, show some respect.
